Reactive and conservative company that cannot seem to get on track - Anonymous employee Honda Employee Review

There is nothing Engineering about this company, innovation and Honda Engineering do not go hand-in-hand. Engineering methods and checks are outdated and are irrelevant due to the poor culture of not doing PDCA or checking if the final design matches design intention. Design mistakes are always repeated due to what I mentioned before. Engineers are just there to put out fires, the jobs are very unsatisfying and there is mayor discontent among engineers. Executive and Senior Management beg for new ideas, but yet they do not open the channels of communications for engineers to suggest them and the few new ideas that they allow have to be reviewed in countless and unnecessary review meetings. The workload in this place is unreal, it is up to you to halfway finish the hottest items and miss out on your personal life or miss some deadlines and get to see your family for a bit every day. Either way you will be look down upon. Getting promoted in this place if a real joke, you get a minor salary increase and loose your overtime. Yet, they will assign you to more work.
